mac: the beauty of open source
Sometimes, open source can be a pain in the rear (e.g. the *nuke family of blogging software, the umpteen variations on the theme of Linux, etc.). But there are also times when open source can be a thing of beauty. If you use Apple Mail 2.0 in Mac OS 10.4, there is a wonderful add-on …
the ipod files: history

Just installed WordPress 1.5.2, the latest security update to my favorite blogging software. Took all of 2 minutes. So far, so good….
